They just don't understand. >>>>>> Hi Tina, Well I've run into a few noodniks who couldn't understand what the Leica was all about. But when you looked at their pictures you quickly learned even if they had a dozen M6's, they still wouldn't use it properly, niether would they "see" any better! And it's the photographer's ability to "__see__" first,then using the Leica in all it's unobtrusiveness to execute the motivating content. I no longer involve myself in converstaion with anyone who doesn't show some honest interest in what a Leica is nd allows the photographer to do. The moment they start a "Leica put down!" End of conversation!!! As it's a complete waste of time. ted
